Lol, I have writings on piracy that turn up in the pirated books database used by Meta to train their LLM. 🏴☠️ This irony of course becomes less funny when the AI starts to enslave us. Check out The Atlantic if you want to see if you've been pirated by Meta. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Powerful front page from L'Humanité on Jean Marie Le Pen: 'His Profession Was Hatred'. The dagger pictured was recovered at the scene of the brutal torture and murder of Ahmed Moulay in Algiers in 1957. One of multiple pieces of evidence showing Le Pen was a torturer.

Good news today that the Daesh member Hasna A. has been convicted by a Dutch court for practicing slavery in Syria. #slavery
The signs of a resurgence of the enslavement of women in the frontlines of the jihadist groups in North-Eastern Syria is worrying.
